Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp's history of spats with reporters

An interview with Jurgen Klopp can, on occasion, resemble a verbal and intellectual assault course, with the Liverpool manager always alert to the wider implications that probing questions may have on him and his club.

On Tuesday night, a Spanish reporter became the latest of a handful of journalists to be on the receiving end of an uncompromising tirade from the German, who took issue with the suggestion that he was 'angry' with Diego Simeone.

The Atletico Madrid boss had refused to shake his counterpart's hand after Liverpool's dramatic 3-2 victory in Europe, but Klopp came down hard on the reporter stating that he was angered by the snub.
